When to use

Claro is used in most instances we use clear. Ex: The instructions weren’t clear. The coast is clear. The glass is clear. He is clearly drunk.
There are some instances when it is better to use transparente, but claro is still okay. Ex: The glass is clear. It’s a clear back pack.
There are some cases where we use clear to mean empty in English. In these instances, use the Spanish word limpiar, which means clean. Ex: Clear my schedule. Clear the room.
